2 SSIDs on the same Vlan?

[James Andrews]

Hi all -

Newbie question. When I am setting up wireless, will I be able to use 2 different SSIDs on the same vlan?

Example:

dot11 ssid Example1

vlan 2

authentication open eap eap_methods

authentication network-eap eap_methods

dot11 ssid Example2

vlan 2

authentication open eap_methods

authentication network-eap eap_methods

Hi James,

Hopefully the attached docs will answer your question:

Cisco Aironet 1100 Series

Using VLANs with Cisco Aironet Wireless Equipment

Deprecated versions of Cisco Aironet software permit binding multiple SSIDs to one VLAN. Current versions do not.

Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points, 12.2(15)JA

Configuring Multiple SSIDs

vlan vlan-id

(Optional) Assign the SSID to a VLAN on your network. Client devices that associate using the SSID are grouped into this VLAN. You can assign only one SSID to a VLAN.

Hope this helps!
